to do the test in his own salon with his own 'reference' system, the
only requirement is that a third party changes the power cables, and
that neither Marshall nor the test proctor knows which cable is
connected at any one time. This can easily be arranged, and I for

one
would be happy to travel at my own expense.

Make sure you take a photographer, a reporter, and several independent
witnesses, and let us know where we can read about the results.

I'm not sure Stewart would want an independent witness present, he could
never show his face again.


I think that pretty much without exception, all of us who believe that
competent cables are indistinguishable from high end cables are coming
from a scientific point of view. That means that we would welcome
being proved wrong as a route to further insight into the subject.

It is noticeably the other side that runs and hides when it comes to
the test.

How confident are you, though? Would you be prepared to wager some
cash of your own on your ability? I know it is not part of the deal as
proposed by Stewart, but it would seem like a nice gesture of good
faith - as things are he only stands to lose.



I don't see this 'challenge' will ever be taken up - factor in a

'financial
risk' and I think you can forget about it....


There are plenty of cable believers who have no financial risk, the fact of
the matter is Stewart is a grade 'A' prick, arrogant to the extreme, smarmy,
with his head wedged fully up his own arsehole. Would you invite someone
like that into your home?


I don't have to be there, you moron. The grade A arrogant pricks are
the ones who claim they can hear cable differences, but run a mile
from providing *proof* of this, even when there's a considerable cash
prize as well as bragging rights to be won.

Oh yeah, that would be *you*, wouldn't it? :-)
